•
The diagram below shows how a paramecium maintains homeostasis. A paramecium normally lives in a hypotonic environment in which water continually diffuses into the cell. To maintain homeostasis, the paramecium must pump out ,

BWater will diffuse out of the paramecium. C Salt will be pumped out of the paramecium by the vacuole. D Salt will be pumped into the paramecium by the vacuole. Sample Question #2

In the process of deamination, the liver converts the process of deamination, the liver converts
amino acids to compounds that can be used in energy metabolism. The liver removes the amino groups from amino acids to produce urea. Then the urea is removed from the body as urine. During this process, the liver works in conjunction with which th li
